The Debye‐Waller exponents for copper and gold are calculated from the frequency distributions derived from de Launay's electron model. Frequencies for 1000 points of the first Brillouin zone are considered. The computation has been made by Blackmann's sampling technique. The results are compared with available experimental data obtained at different temperatures. Good agreement between theory and experiment is found for gold, but not for copper.
