[Wien] How to resolve the large charge fluctuation problem in heterojunction calculation

Dear wien users,

        I am calculating a heterojunction of AlN/GaN. I find a large 
charge fluctuation in the beginning of iteration and of course the ghost 
band. This is the case.scf1 file, from which you can find the difference 
of energy parameters of N atoms for the two sides of this superlattice 
(1~6 for AlN, 7~12 for GaN) are very large. I have reduce the mxing parameter 
to 0.0001, and still can not resolve this problem. Does any body can give me 
some suggest?
