Deposition of 2--3 layer equivalents of Mn on a clean Cu{l brace}001{r brace} surface followed by exposure to oxygen and brief anneals at 450 {degree}C--475 {degree}C leads to the growth of MnO islands which are epitaxial to, but incommensurate with, the Cu substrate. The proof is provided by a quantitative analysis of low-energy electron-diffraction intensities and is confirmed by angle-integrated and angle-resolved valence-band photoemission experiments.
