摘要：

Dust-dust scattering between large size dust particle has been observed in a dusty plasma. It was observed that apart from the screened repulsive force, dust-dust collision shows attractive force. The phenomena of dust molecule formation is also reported. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
