The reversal of modes means that the modes which are excited mostly in the material with higher saturation magnetization have the lowest frequency than modes excited in the material with low saturation magnetization. We address this effect to the mode-dependent softening of spin waves resulting from the growing influence of the demagnetizing field while the external magnetic field lowers. The effect gives a possibility of the concentration of spin waves (i.e. the spatial distribution of their energy) in one of the constituent materials (the spin wave is excited much stronger in one material than in the other), the matrix or scattering centres, by the external magnetic field. As an example, we study planar bi-component MCs consisting of cobalt inclusions in permalloy matrix, as well as Py inclusions in Co matrix. We show that in both cases lowering external magnetic field drives down in the spectrum these modes which are excited mostly in Co.
