Abstract
The modes of clusters formed by two or three charged dust particles in a plasma are analyzed. The non-Hamiltonian dynamics of the particles is taken into account, which includes (i) nonreciprocal interaction forces due to wake effects and (ii) spatial variations of the particle charge and shielding parameters. It is shown that these effects can trigger an oscillatory instability under realistic experimental conditions. An experiment is suggested to observe this instability.
