Multiple dimensions of bureaucratic discrimination: Evidence from German welfare offices

J Hemker, A Rink - American Journal of Political Science, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
A growing experimental literature uses response rates to fictional requests to measure
discrimination against ethnic minorities. This article argues that restricting attention to response …

Mechanisms of deformation and ductility in tungsten–A review

…, C Ren, ZZ Fang, SC Middlemas, KJ Hemker - International Journal of …, 2018 - Elsevier
The physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of tungsten are at the far limits of all
engineering materials. These unique properties, particularly ultra-high strength, density, and …

Deformation twinning in nanocrystalline aluminum

M Chen, E Ma, KJ Hemker, H Sheng, Y Wang, X Cheng - Science, 2003 - science.org
We report transmission electron microscope observations that provide evidence of deformation
twinning in plastically deformed nanocrystalline aluminum. The presence of these twins …

Experimental observations of stress-driven grain boundary migration

TJ Rupert, DS Gianola, Y Gan, KJ Hemker - Science, 2009 - science.org
In crystalline materials, plastic deformation occurs by the motion of dislocations, and the
regions between individual crystallites, called grain boundaries, act as obstacles to dislocation …

Shock-induced localized amorphization in boron carbide

M Chen, JW McCauley, KJ Hemker - Science, 2003 - science.org
High-resolution electron microscope observations of shock-loaded boron carbide have
revealed the formation of nanoscale intragranular amorphous bands that occur parallel to …

Voice and punishment: A global survey experiment on tax morale

…, J Mellon, TC Peixoto, JZ Hemker… - World Bank policy …, 2019 - papers.ssrn.com
An online survey experiment spanning 50 countries finds sizable improvements in tax morale
when (a) the salience of anti-corruption efforts is increased and (b) citizens are allowed to …

Stress-assisted discontinuous grain growth and its effect on the deformation behavior of nanocrystalline aluminum thin films

…, S Brandstetter, H Van Swygenhoven, KJ Hemker - Acta Materialia, 2006 - Elsevier
Unique mechanical properties have been measured in submicrometer freestanding
nanocrystalline Al films, where discontinuous grain growth results in a fundamental change in the …

In situ TEM observations of fast grain-boundary motion in stressed nanocrystalline aluminum films

M Legros, DS Gianola, KJ Hemker - Acta Materialia, 2008 - Elsevier
Free-standing nanocrystalline Al thin films have been strained in situ in a transmission electron
microscope at room-temperature. Extensive grain-boundary migration accompanies the …
