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