The main objective of this manuscript is to focus on the computational study of the interplay of spin density wave (SDW) and superconductivity using a two-band model for SrFe2−xNixAs2. We derived mathematical statements for the superconducting critical temperature, SDW critical temperature, superconductivity order parameter, and the SDW order parameter using the Hamiltonian model and Green’s function formalism for the SrFe2−xNixAs2 superconductor. A mathematical expression for the dependence of transition temperatures on the SDW order parameter was obtained for SrFe2−xNixAs2. Using these mathematical statements, transition temperatures versus the SDW order parameter phase diagrams were plotted to show the dependence of the SDW order parameter on transition temperatures. By merging these diagrams, we have depicted the intriguing possibility of the interplay of superconductivity and magnetism for the SrFe2−xNixAs2 superconductor. Phase diagrams of temperature versus superconducting order parameters and the SDW order parameter were also plotted to show the dependence of order parameters on temperature for the SrFe2−xNixAs2 superconductor.
