abstract = {The origin of orbital order in correlated transition-metal
compounds is strongly debated. For the paradigmatic $e_g$
systems $KCuF_3$ and $LaMnO_3$, it has been shown that the
electronic Kugel'-Khomskii mechanism alone is not sufficient
to drive the orbital-ordering transition up to the high
temperatures at which it is experimentally observed. In the
case of $t_{2g}$ compounds, however, the role played by the
superexchange interaction remains unclear. Here we
investigate this question for two representative systems,
the $3dt^1_{2g}$ Mott insulators $LaTiO_3$ and $YTiO_3$. We
show that the Kugel'-Khomskii superexchange transition
temperature $T_{KK}$ is unexpectedly large, comparable to
the value for the $e^3_g$ fluoride $KCuF_3$. By deriving the
general form of the orbital superexchange Hamiltonian for
the $t^1_{2g}$ configuration, we show that the
$GdFeO_3$-type distortion plays a key part in enhancing
$T_{KK}$ to about 300 K. Still, orbital ordering above 300 K
can be ascribed only to the presence of a static
crystal-field splitting.},
