In the present work, the acoustic band structure of a two-dimensional (2D) phononic crystal containing a multiferroic and liquid were investigated by the plane-wave-expansion method. 2D PnC with triangular and honeycomb lattices composed of LiCu 2 O 4 cylindrical rods embedded in the seawater matrix are studied to find the existence of stop bands for the waves of certain energy.
