Reflection high-energy electron diffraction patterns were taken from electropolished (100), (110) and (111) surfaces of aluminium and copper. From the displacements of the spots compared with the Bragg position the mean inner potentials were obtained, being 13.2 V for aluminium and 19.1 V for copper.
