Using the example of nanocomposite (NC) films (CoFeB)_x(LiNbO₃)_100−x, in which at relatively high temperatures of T ≿ 10 K a 'weakly insulating' regime is observed in the logarithmic temperature dependence of the conductivity σ ∝ ln T, characteristic of a strong tunnel coupling between granules, the scaling in the behavior of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) resistance as a function of the longitudinal resistance ρ_AHE was studied in detail. The studies were carried out in fields up to 14 T at temperatures T = 0.4—200 K in the range of metallic phase content x ≈ 35—60 at.%, covering the percolation transition. It was found that the power n in the scaling dependence ρ_AHE ∝[ρ(T)]ⁿ behaves nonmonotonically. In the ranges x ≈ 35—44 at.% and x ≈ 50—60 at.%, an increase in the power is clearly observed, whereas in the interval x ≈ 44—50 at.%, the value of n remains practically unchanged. We believe that the kink regions in the dependence n(x) indicate a change in the NC conductivity mechanism and determine the percolation threshold (at x_p ≈ 50 at.%) and the metal—insulator transition (x_c ≈ 43—44 at.%), which do not coincide in these systems. The results of an analysis of the behavior of σ (T) at subhelium temperatures T = 0.4—3 K confirm this conclusion. Studies of the magnetic properties of NCs vs the metallic phase content x using ferromagnetic resonance and magneto-optical spectroscopy methods also indicate the pres„ence of specific features in the vicinity of concentrations x ≈ 44 and 50 at.%.
