Abstract
The results of the experiment on the formation of a cluster in a cusp magnetic trap under microgravity conditions and its destruction at a gradual increase of its electric potential are discussed. It is shown that if a cluster is formed by initially uncharged particles, then the auto-adhesion forces exert an important influence on its shape, structure, and subsequent decay. The structure of the cluster is discussed, and it is shown that it is formed by filamentary fragments.
