In this Comment I discuss two incorrect statements which were made in thepaper "Silver nanoparticle array structures that produce remarkably narrowplasmon line shapes" [J. Chem. Phys.120, 10871 (2004)] by Zou, Janel, andSchatz (ZJS). The first statement is about the use of quasistatic approximationin my earlier work on the similar subject, and the second statement concernsthe possibility of exact cancellation of radiative relaxation in periodicalchains of nanoparticles. The relationship between the quasistaticapproximation, the dipole approximation, and the approximation due to Doyle[Phys. Rev. B39, 9852 (1989)] which was used by ZJS is clarified. It is shownthat the exact cancellation of radiative relaxation cannot take place in theparticular geometry considered by ZJS.Comment: 3 pages, no figure
