Eminent materials researcher and educator, William D. Nix, offered his insights on finding one’s own passion and internal compass. View Structure and Mechanical Properties of Fe/Zr Multilayers.
William Nix has been engaged in the study of mechanical properties of materials in both bulk and thin film form for over six decades. He is especially well-known for his later work showing that size matters in strength and plasticity of metals and that 'smaller is stronger'.
Professor Nix is an internationally renowned scholar in the field of mechanical behavior of solids, a subject he and his students have researched for more than half a century. He started his research career with a series of important contributions on high temperature creep and fracture of metals in the 1960’s.
