Exploring materials that exhibit a high superconducting transition temperature (Tc) under ambient pressure is crucial for practical applications. In this study, we focused on the characteristics of La3Ni2O7, which shows high-temperature superconductivity under high pressure, and mercury-based cuprates, which possess a large orbital energy difference. Using the bilayer cuprate HgBa2CaCu2O6 as a parent material, we designed novel bilayer materials with electronic states favorable for superconductivity by introducing interlayer oxygen and substituting with Ni. We evaluated Tc using first-principles calculations and the fluctuation exchange approximation, and will report the results.
