A detailed analysis of the crystal structure in RETiO3 with RE = La, Nd, Sm, Gd, and Y reveals an intrinsic coupling between orbital degrees of freedom and the lattice which cannot be fully attributed to the structural deformation arising from bond-length mismatch. The TiO6 octahedra in this series are all irregular with the shape of the distortion depending on the RE ionic radius. These octahedron distortions vary more strongly with temperature than the tilt and rotation angles. Around the Ti magnetic ordering all compounds exhibit strong anomalies in the thermal-expansion coefficients, these anomalies exhibit opposite signs for the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic compounds. Furthermore the strongest effects are observed in the materials close to the magnetic cross-over from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic order.
