The effects of hydrostatic pressure on the magnetic ordering of heavy rare earths are studied through the pressure shift of the electronic energy bands and the effects of this pressure shift on the indirect exchange. It is shown that the change in the ordering temperature of Gd, Tb, and Dy and the variation of the helical turn angle of Tb can be explained in this manner.
