Abstract

Results are presented from measurements of the pairwise interaction potential between dust grains in plasma. The experiments were carried out with RF capacitive discharges over a wide range of dusty plasma parameters. All the experiments under analysis revealed a repulsive interaction potential that was close in shape to the screened Coulomb potential. The grain charges and the radii at which they were screened are determined.
