Re: Superconductivity
You should be more specific in your question:
Which formalism do you want to use to describe superconductivity?
What type of systems are you interested in looking at?

Re: Superconductivity
Im interested in 2D materials. Basically heterostructures. I want to check a particular structure showing superconducting property or not. I want to know about the procedure of performing those calculation.

Re: Superconductivity
Well, it depends on the properties you are interested in.
Two approaches commonly used on first-principles codes to compute critical superconducting temperature for phonon-mediated superconductors are described in the following reference:

These formalisms require the computation of electron-phonon matrix elements which is not available as of vasp 6.3.x
