Abstract

Optical measurements of phosphorus-doped silicon yield a donor susceptibility which can be fitted with a critical form that extrapolates to a polarization catastrophe at the insulator-metal transition. The exponent is about twice classical predictions and demonstrates the quantum nature of the transition.
