Table 3 Superconducting temperature values of M\(_2\)AC (M: Ti, Cr, Fe, Nb and Mo; A: Al, Cu, Ge and Sn; X: C and N) phases screened by the high-throughput Fröhlich model. Predicted \(T_c\) for Nb\(_2\)AC (A: Al, Cu, Ge and Sn) and Ti\(_2\)AX (A: Al, Cu, Ge and Sn; X: C and N) are taken from our previous publications2, 3. The new predicted \(T_c\) values based on the results in this paper are given in bold.
