•Spin spiral state is investigated through generalized Bloch theorem.•Ground states are determined by AFM direct exchange and FM superexchange.•Ground state depends sensitively on lattice constant.•Other ground states can be induced by hole−electron doping. We investigated the ground state of monola...
