Since the early 2000s, an intense research activity is devoted to the study of high-entropy alloys, which have very interesting properties for many applications. These alloys are obtained by entropy stabilization of single phases from complex mixtures of typically 5 metals. Recently, this concept has been extended to oxides and it has been shown that the entropy stabilization of a solid solution from a mixture of MgO, NiO, CoO, CuO, and ZnO is possible. This structure is stabilized by the large configurational entropy arising from the site distribution of the five cations. Following this study, we have shown that the compounds of this new class of oxides may be substituted or co-substituted, which leads to a considerable number of possible chemical compositions. Furthermore, we studied the physical properties of some specific compounds which are extremely promising for applications such as colossal dielectric constant and super ionic conductivity. During this presentation, we will describe some new compositions belonging to this peculiar family and their outstanding transport properties.
