Abstract
We establish that strong Fermi surface nesting drives the Néel transition in the compounds. Generalized susceptibility, , calculations found nesting to be responsible for both incommensurate wave vector, , in , and the commensurate structure, , in , as revealed by x-ray resonant exchange scattering. A continuous transition from incommensurate to commensurate magnetic structures via band filling is predicted. The surprisingly higher in than that in is also explained.
