We investigated the influences of the magnetic field strength and particle areal density on the microstructure of a quasi-two-dimensional monolayer composed of ferromagnetic particles by means of a Monte Carlo simulation. The magnetic field was applied along a direction perpendicular to the plane of the monolayer. Microstructures of the monolayer obtained in the simulations were analyzed in terms of radial distribution and orientational distribution functions. Formation of the microstructures is discussed from the perspective of particle-particle interaction energy and the perpendicular magnetic susceptibility of the monolayer was calculated from simulated magnetization curves. The obtained results are summarized as follows. For small areal density of particles, formation of chain-like structures is prevented by the repulsive magnetic interaction between particles due to orientations of the magnetic moments in the particles along the magnetic field direction. For intermediate areal density of particles, the chain-like structures remain even when a relatively strong magnetic field is applied, because contributions of the attractive magnetic interactions increase. For large areal density of particles, mixtures of chain-like and locally ordered structures appear due to the anisotropic attractive magnetic interactions in the absence of the magnetic field. However, when a sufficiently strong magnetic field is applied, the magnetic interactions between particles change to isotropic repulsive interactions, which results in the short-range repulsive steric interactions between particles becoming dominant with the appearance of hexagonal close packed structures.
