Tiny mixing parameters? RE: [Wien] Ghost band come from large charge fluctuation

[Jorissen Kevin]

I would really like to have the specialist's opinion on this (LD Marks?) : is there any sense in using mixing parameters of 10^-6 ?

Thanks very much to Marks!
There are still some problem not resolved.
As to avoid the large charge fluctuation we set the mixing parameter to 0.000001 and using PRATT
method, but this can not resolve the problem and we still meet a ghost band in the second iteration.
these are the charge values from  *.scf file.
