Spin waves in 2D periodic magnetic nanocomposites are studied by means of the plane wave method. The effect of the ellipticity and in-plane rotation of the scattering centers on the band structure is investigated, to indicate new possibilities of fine tuning of spin-wave filter passbands. 1. Introduction magnonic waveguides, spin-wave emitters, and filters [ 19]. These potentia applications, along with the possibility of Magnetic composites with a structure modulated periodi- modeling the energy spectrum of spin-wave excitations cally on the nanoscale are the subject of a very intensive propagating in MCs, are the very reason of the intensi- research activity, and the interest in their properties is
