Abstract
We show, by performing Monte Carlo simulations along a low temperature isotherm, that the structural behavior of a system of dipolar hard spheres transforms from a chainlike association at low density to a ferroelectric ordering at high density. The influence of the temperature variation and the dependence on boundary conditions are investigated.Keywords
