I do not know about PF, but I'd say yes.
In terms of accuracy, this is the worst.
but why?
Because 30 in z direction in supercell means 180 in usual cell, and you
have only 18.

Dear Lyudmila and BHamu
Thank you for your suggestions. I have already used 18*18*3 for supercell
and 18*18*18, but found difference in plasma frequency for supercell and
bulk. Should plasma frequency be same for bulk and supercell? or I should
use the new plasma frequency obtained from super cel
Dear sajjad
I am also a beginner but I must suggest you to choose 18*18*3 k points for
1*1*6 supercell in comparison with bulk.
As volume in real space is inversely proportional to volume of reciprocal
space. Larger the volume in real space lower the volume in reciprocal
space. So while computing

I have computed PF for bulk Na and its value is *5.943 eV* with k-mesh

Then I constructed a supercell 1*1*6:

*24*24*24 5.7097 / 5.8192*
*36*36*24 5.
Dear Users
I have computed PF for bulk Na and its value is *5.943 eV* with k-mesh
*18*18*18*.
Then I constructed a supercell 1*1*6 and run the calculation with different
k-meshes and obtained PF values. The details are
*K-meshPF (x/z components in eV)*
*24*24*24
