abstract = {Ferromagnetic thin films of Heusler compounds are highly
relevant for spintronic applications owing to their
predicted half-metallicity, that is, $100\%$ spin
polarization at the Fermi energy. However, experimental
evidence for this property is scarce. Here we investigate
epitaxial thin films of the compound Co2MnSi in situ by
ultraviolet-photoemission spectroscopy, taking advantage of
a novel multi-channel spin filter. By this surface sensitive
method, an exceptionally large spin polarization of
$(93^{+7}_{-11})$ $\%$ at room temperature is observed
directly. As a more bulk sensitive method, additional ex
situ spin-integrated high energy X-ray photoemission
spectroscopy experiments are performed. All experimental
results are compared with advanced band structure and
photoemission calculations which include surface effects.
Excellent agreement is obtained with calculations, which
show a highly spin polarized bulk-like surface resonance
ingrained in a half metallic bulk band structure.},
