It is shown that the interaction of dust with neutral plasma particles can lead to attractive forces between dust particles, both in the case where the distance between dust particles is less than the mean free path of neutral particles and in the case where it is greater. The expressions for attractive forces differs in the two limits only by a numerical coefficient. The additional force of dust interaction is found to be due to the neutrals created by recombination of charged plasma particles on the surface of dust particles. The influence of radiative dust cooling on dust–dust interaction is considered.
