title: Statistical analysis of two-dimensional cluster structures composed of ferromagnetic particles based on a flexible chain model.
abstract: We investigate two-dimensional cluster structures composed of ferromagnetic colloidal particles, based on a flexible chain model, by the configurational-bias Monte Carlo method. We clarify the dependence of the probabilities of the creation of different types of clusters on the dipole-dipole interactive energy and the cluster size.
