Abstract: | It is shown that the electrostatic interaction potential between a pair of positively charged particles embedded in a highly collisional plasma has a long-range attractive asymptote. The effect is due to continuous plasma absorption on the particles. The relevance of this result to experimental investigations of complex (dusty) plasmas is discussed. |
