Abstract

We report on optical measurements of a two-dimensional electron gas near the metal-insulator transition. We observe the appearance of excitons and negatively charged excitons, ${X}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, at the onset of the transition. The fact that these excitons appear at a relatively large average electron density shows that transition is induced by localization of single electrons in the electrostatic potential fluctuations of the remote ionized donors.
