Abstract

High critical temperature (Tc_c) superconductor has a great potential in many industrial applications. However, discovering a compound having high Tc_c is still remaining a big challenge for experimental approach due to time-consuming and high cost. In this paper, we investigated the critical temperature (Tc_c) of several compounds of ThCr2_2Si2_2-type structure (space group I4/mmm) since some of them had already been investigated and trusted as the potential candidates for superconductivity. First principle calculation was performed to compute the critical temperature (Tc_c) based on allen-dynes equation modification of McMillian formula. In order to confirm our calculation scheme, we compared our result with compounds which had been experimentally determined obtained from NIMSNIMS database. The result showed a very good agreement with experimental data. Based on this scheme, finally, we found ThCu2_2Si2_2 and ThAu2_2Si2_2 which were most likely to exhibit a superconductivity around 3.88 K and 4.27. keywordskeywords : superconductivity, ThCr2_2Si2_2-type structure, ThCu2_2Si2_2, ThAu2_2Si2_2, critical temperature
