Crystallographic as well as electronic structure of thin Mn films on Au(111) surface has been investigated by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) at room temperature. A structural phase transition from the fcc γ-Mn to the cubic α-Mn in thin Mn layers on Au(111) is accompanied by the changes in the electronic structure of thin Mn films as observed by ARPES. For the 1 ML of α-Mn on the Au(111) surface a peak at 0.8 eV of binding energy is observed in photoemission spectra, which disappears for Mn films thicker than 3 ML. Using ab initio band structure calculations this state at 0.8 eV is identified as a Γ-centered 3dz2-like surface state.
