Prof. Kim’s Biophotonics Engineering Lab. experimentally verified temperature-driven plasmonic nonlinearity using near-field scanning optical microscopy for the first in the world. The results were published as a cover paper in Nano Letters (IF = 10.8, JCR rank = 7%)

This study was led by Dr. Hongki Lee and Dr. Seongmin Im (co-first authors) under the supervision of Prof. Donghyun Kim. Prof. Shi-Wei Chu (National Taiwan University, Department of Physics) and Prof. Aaron Ho-Pui Ho (The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Department of Biomedical Engineering) participated in this study.
