La-, Nd- and La/Nd-based polysubstituted high-entropy oxides (HEOs) were produced by solid-state reactions. Composition of the B-site was fixed for all samples (Cr0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2) with varying of A-site cation (La, Nd and La0.5Nd0.5). Nominal chemical composition of the HEOs correlates well with initial calculated stoichiometry. All produced samples are single phase with perovskite-like structure. Average particle size is critically dependent on chemical composition. Minimal average

The values of the configurational entropy of mixing for each sample were calculated. Electrical properties were investigated in the wide range of temperatures (150–450 K) and frequencies (10−1–107 Hz). Results are discussed in terms of the variable range hopping and the small polaron hopping mechanisms. Magnetic properties were analyzed from the temperature and field dependences of the specific magnetization. The frustrated state of the spin subsystem was observed, and it can be a result of the increasing entropy state. From the Zero-Field-Cooling and Field-Cooling regimes (ZFC-FC) curves, we determine the <S> average and Smax maximum size of a ferromagnetic nanocluster in a paramagnetic matrix. The <S> average size of a ferromagnetic cluster is ~100 nm (La-CMFCNO) and ~60 nm (LN-CMFCNO). The Smax maximum size is ~210 nm (La-CMFCNO) and ~205 nm (LN-CMFCNO). For Nd-CMFCNO, spin glass state (ferromagnetic cluster lower than 30 nm) was observed due to f-d exchange at low temperatures.
