Incommensurability enabled quasi-fractal order in 1D narrow-band moir\'e systems

We demonstrate that quasiperiodicity can radically change the ground state properties of 1D moir\'e systems with respect to their periodic counterparts. By studying an illustrative example we show that while narrow bands play a significant role in enhancing interactions both for commensurate and incommensurate structures, only quasiperiodicity is able to extend the ordered phase down to an infinitesimal interaction strength. In this regime, the quasiperiodic-enabled state has contributions from infinitely many wave vectors. This quasi-factal regime cannot be stabilized in the commensurate case even in the presence of a narrow band. These findings suggest that quasiperiodicity may be a critical factor in stabilizing non-trivial ordered phases in interacting moir\'e structures and signal out multifractal non-interacting phases, recently found in 2D incommensurate moir\'e systems, as particularly promising parent states.
