dc.description.abstract	In this work, theoretical investigation on the superconductivity of Antimony under ~ pressure has been made. Experimental and theoretical values of pressure dependent parameters like, electron-phonon coupling constant(A), average phonon frequency ((w) ) and the corrosponding Debye temperature(8 D) are used to calculate superconducting transition temperature(T c ) of the rhombohedral(A7), trigonal approximant(TA) and BCC phases of Antimony using the modified McMillan transition temperature equa- tion. The calculated superconducting transition temperature(T c ) shows a character- istic dependence on pressure. At the phase transition from A7 to TA, a considerable increase in T c is observed with increasing pressure. A large jump in T transition pressure from TA to BCC and reaches its turning point at T ~ 9.79K. x c is found at the	en_US
