"Nesting" refers to a Fermi surface where two points on the Fermi surface are connected by half a reciprocal lattice vector. When this occurres, it usually indicates the system is critical or unstable with respect to an interaction.
If your think about adding an interaction term to the Hamilton via perturbation theory, you'll find that any translationally invariant term only couples states with the same momentum, up to a reciprocal lattice vector. If there's no nesting, the states will have very different energies, and thus be suppressed in perturbation theory. However, if the Fermi surface has nesting, there exists states with the same crystal momentum and same energy, which diverge in perturbation theory.

Hey mate here is your answer...
In computing science and informatics, nesting is where information is organized in layers, or where objects contain other similar objects. It almost always refers to self-similar or recursive structures in some sense. Nesting can mean: nested calls: using several levels of subroutines.
Contour plot of E ( c/a, M ) − E ( c/a = 1 , M ), i. e. the total energy relative to the energy .... The nesting vectors discussed in liter- ature correspond with the q -vector at ...
Hope it helps you......!☺️☺️
