On doping polar dielectrics, such as cuprates (solid) or amonia (liquid), the polarization induces the formation of polarons or solvated electrons. However, the exact role of such entities in the metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) which occurs at some critical densities still remains unclear. We think that their formation together with their long-range Coulomb interactions are responsable for a polarization catastrophe leading to the MIT. Moreover, the accompanishing phenomena is the occurence of a negative sign of the static dielectric constant, which could yield either an insulator-to-superconductor transition in cuprates, either a phase separation in metal-ammonia solutions. The difference of behavior possibly could come from the nature of the counter ions of the doping charges, which are essentially frozen in oxides, while they remain in a liquid state in metal-ammonia system.
