A simple model for charged dusts in plasmas is considered. The interaction of the dusts with the electron–ion plasma background yields a dust–dust interaction force that is attractive. The latter can hold the dust grains in various stable and metastable cluster configurations. The predicted few-dust configurations agree well with the results from an experiment and a molecular dynamics simulation.
