From 1957 to 1959, Marion Asche carried out investigations on cadmium sulfide (CdS) crystals at the Institute for Solid State Research of the German Academy of Sciences (DAW) and received a physicist diploma from Humboldt.

From that time until the end of her academic career, Asche worked very closely with Sarbey and the staff of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences.

Her collaboration there proved to be very successful and at the end of 1965 she received her doctorate with distinction at HUB with a dissertation on Hot Electrons in Silicon.

In 1987, Ashe was awarded for "outstanding scientific achievements in the field of semiconductor physics" by the president of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR (AdW) Werner Scheler.

[1] She received many invitations to give lectures at international conferences including in renowned institutions in the Federal Republic of Germany and abroad.

She was invited to give lectures in France, Italy, Austria, Denmark, the Soviet Union and the Federal Republic of Germany even before German reunification in 1989.

After the opening of the border she worked intensively with English and West German scientists, and this also resulted in a number of joint scientific publications.

She was also very active in founding the Paul Drude Institute for Solid State Electronics of the Leibniz Association, where she worked until she retired in 2000.

As the then chairman of the Physikalische Society of Berlin, Wolfgang Richter, wrote about her in 1999:I would like to emphasize here another field in which you have rendered outstanding services.
