Influences of the magnetic interaction between particles and the aspect ratio of particles on aggregate structures in a colloidal dispersion composed of rod-like ferromagnetic particles were investigated by means of the cluster-moving Monte Carlo method. The internal structures of the aggregates obtained in simulations were analyzed in terms of the number density distribution of the clusters and radial distribution functions. The results show that as the magnetic interaction between particles increases, many small clusters such as anti-parallel particle pairs, raft-like clusters, and small loop-like clusters are formed; these gather to form larger aggregates. In the case of a relatively strong magnetic interaction between particles, solid-like rectangular clusters are formed when the aspect ratio is approximately 2, since the suitable distance between magnetic charges enables particles to form a fundamental structure of two normal anti-parallel particle pairs. As the aspect ratio increases beyond 2, many more stable raft-like clusters are formed, since the increase in distance between magnetic charges makes the two normal anti-parallel particle pair structures unstable. For a significantly larger aspect ratio, large network microstructures are produced by the formation of many chain-like and loop-like structures.
