The irreversible deposition of particles with field-induced magnetic moments perpendicular to the deposition surface provides a model system for exploring the effect of interparticle interactions that are independent of any particle/surface interactions. It is shown, for the first time, that interparticle interactions can influence crucially the particle configurations formed on the surface solely through the trapping of particles away from that surface. This effect is illustrated by the comparison of the radial distribution functions and of the number density fluctuations in two experimental conditions aimed at revealing the influence of the magnetic field.
