The method of complex-coordinate rotation in a finite-element discrete variable representation is implemented to study the photoionization of hydrogen impurity in spherical quantum dots which are modelled by finite oscillator and Gaussian potentials. The level splitting and crossing of hydrogen impurities due to the variation of dot radii and confining potentials are presented, as well as the shifting down of the energy of hydrogenic impurity toward the combined energy of the free hydrogen and the amplitude of the confining potential. We illustrate the staircaselike behavior in ground and excited energy curves varying with dot radii. The variation of photoionization cross sections with photoelectron energies are given for several dot radii. The cross sections as functions of quantum-dot radii and confining potentials for specific photon energies showing resonancelike profiles are observed and discussed.
