Pennsylvania State University.
Along with his advisor Moses H. West. Chan, he saw the first phenomena which were interpreted as supersolid behavior. When he was a post doctor of Chan"s group, they saw the first phenomenon which was interpreted as supersolid behavior. Later, Kim reported a new evidence of supersolidity in rotating solid helium.
He found that Non-Classical Rotational Inertia (NCRI) fraction which measures shows that the fraction of helium atoms participating in the super flow and the helium atoms can be strongly suppressed by rotation without altering the elastic properties.
