It is shown that an increase in the number of cations in the <i>B</i>-sublattice, which is accompanied by an increase in the configurational entropy, significantly changes in the relaxor behavior: the temperature of the dielectric permittivity maximum shifts toward higher temperatures (355 K → 400 K), the degree of phase transition diffuseness increases (γ = 1.7 → 1.81), and the activation energy of the relaxation process decreases. The dielectric response is described by the Curie – Weiss law and the Vogel – Fulcher relationship, indicating the presence of thermally activated dynamics of polar nanoregions. The obtained results suggest that the increase in the configurational entropy and the associated cationic disorder contribute to the weakening of correlations between the polar nanoregions and enhance their mobility.
