摘要：

The origin of the G-type antiferromagnetism [AFM(G)] and puzzling properties of RTiO3 with R=La are studied. We clarify that the crystal field from La caused by the GdFeO3-type distortion lifts the t(2g) degeneracy at Ti 3d orbitals. The lift stabilizes the AFM(G) with spin-exchange constant in agreement with neutron-scattering results. The orbital-spin structures for R=Pr, Nd, and Sm are also consistent with experiments. We propose that the GdFeO3-type distortion has a universal mechanism of controlling orbital-spin structure competing with the Jahn-Teller (JT) mechanism.
