Comment on 'Silver nanoparticle array structures that produce remarkably narrow plasmon line shapes' [J.Chem.Phys.120,10871(2004)]

摘要

Recently,Zou,Janel,and Schatz(referred to as ZJS below)have described remarkably narrow plasmon resonances in linear arrays of silver nanospheres.1 Without questioning the novelty and significance of these results,I would like to point out that the above-referenced paper contains two incorrect statements.The first statement is about my previous work.Namely,ZJS write that in a previous study I have considered "...infinite one-dimensional arrays in the quasistatic approximation." In fact,there was no quasistatic approximation made in Ref.2.The approximation that was made was the dipole approximation.
