Poster Award for HZB-Postdoc at EMRS Spring Meeting
Ah Reum Jeong has completed her PhD in physics at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Korea. She now works as a postdoc in the Hybrid Material Systems & Nano-Analytics team of Dr. Marin Rusu.
During the spring meeting 2015 of the European Materials Research Society the Poster contribution of Dr. Ah Reum Jeong (HZB-Institute for Heterogeneous Material Systems) was selected for an award. The young scientist has presented results on electronic and structural properties in relation to chemical composition of molybdenum oxide layers, which are widely applied in photovoltaic as well as optoelectronic devices.

Ah Reum Jeong has completed her PhD in physics at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, Korea. She now works as a postdoc in the Hybrid Material Systems & Nano-Analytics team of Dr. Marin Rusu in the Hybrid-PV-Project. „There are still relevant processes in molybdenum oxide which we do not completely understand yet“, she states.
In her research, she modifies MoO3-layers with defects and analyzes its morphology, structure and work functions at different temperatures by Kelvin probe force microscopy in ultra-high vacuum and Raman spectroscopy. Chemical composition of the films was in addition analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Marcus Bär.
„At first I wasn’t aware that among the people surrounding my poster one person was a member of the jury“, Ah Reum Jeong says. „He has asked some quite specific questions and we had a very good discussion. I am really happy about this award since it helps to get even more attention for our work in the scientific community.”
„Ah Reum Jeong has convinced the jury with the scientific quality of her work and with a very clear presentation “, Marin Rusu states. The poster has been presented at the Symposium "Synthesis, processing and characterization of nanoscale multi functional oxide films".

- Perovskite triple-junction solar cells: Even more efficient with GO/SAM bilayersPerovskite semiconductors efficiently convert sunlight into electrical energy; they are also inexpensive and extremely lightweight. A team at HZB has developed a triple-junction solar cell comprising different perovskite semiconductors, with a novel bilayer of graphene oxide (GO) and a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) as the hole conductor. This bilayer significantly increases both efficiency and long-term stability. The efficiency of the novel perovskite triple-junction solar cell is 27.3% and shows hardly any decline even after more than 770 hours of operation. The study has been published in the renowned journal Joule.
- Green Deal Ukraїna at the Ukraine Recovery ConferenceEnd of June, the Ukraine Recovery Conference (UCR2026) took place in Gdańsk, Poland. Unlike previous editions, URC2026 introduced a dedicated Energy Platform, jointly organised by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine and the Ministry of Climate and Environment of Poland, which brought together energy-related discussions, announcements, and side events in one place, increasing the visibility and coordination of key energy topics. Green Deal Ukraїna, an initiative coordinated by HZB, organised three events on the sidelines of URC on research and energy topics as part of the conference.
