Si-doped WO films were sputtered at room temperature and then annealed in air at 500 °C. The Si doping resulted in structural distortion from space group 2/ to . A high density of pores with a diameter of ∼20 nm was observed in the films, which is ideal for gas sensing applications because of the easy diffusion of gas.

EuBaTiMO (M = Co or Ni) was sintered at 1400 °C under a reduction atmosphere. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the mixed valences of Eu/Eu and Ti/Ti in EuTiO and EuBaTiO, as well as some oxygen vacancies required to keep the charge neutrality. The co-doping of Co/Ni in EuBaTiO resulted in the disappearance of oxygen vacancies, as a result of a reduction in Ti numbers and an increase in Eu numbers.
