Abstract
The Debye-Waller exponents for five face centered cubic metals (copper, silver, gold, nickel and aluminium) are calculated at different temperatures from the frequency distribution obtained from a lattice dynamical model in which in addition to the central forces (3 neighbours), the CGW type angular forces (2 neighbours) and the volume forces of theSharma-Joshi type are considered. The results are compared with the available experimental findings in terms of the Debye-Waller factor temperature parameter. Reasonably good agreement is found.
