dc.descriptionWe have performed an in situ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) on single-crystal surfaces of La$_{0.6}$Sr$_{0.4}$MnO$_{3}$ (LSMO) thin films grown on SrTiO$_{3}$ (001) substrates by laser molecular beam epitaxy, and investigated the electronic structure near the Fermi level ($E_{F}$). The experimental results were compared with the band-structure calculation based on LDA + $U$. The band structure of LSMO thin films consists of several highly dispersive O 2$p$ derived bands in the binding energy range of 2.0 - 6.0 eV and Mn 3$d$ derived bands near $E_{F}$. ARPES spectra around the $Gamma$ point show a dispersive band near $E_{F}$ indicative of an electron pocket centered at the $Gamma$ point, although it was not so clearly resolved as an electronlike pocket due to the suppression of spectral weight in the vicinity of $E_{F}$. Compared with the band-structure calculation, the observed conduction band is assigned to the Mn 3$de_{g}$ majority-spin band responsible for the half-metallic nature of LSMO. We have found that the estimated size of the Fermi surface is consistent with the prediction of the band-structure calculation, while the band width becomes significantly narrower than the calculation. Also, the intensity near $E_{F}$ is strongly reduced. The origin of these discrepancies between the experiment and the calculation is discussed.
