Abstract

At the low energy regime, the decay rate of two-dimensional massless Dirac fermions due to interactions can be written as ImΣ(ω)ωx\mathrm{Im}\Sigma(\omega) \propto |\omega|^{x} at zero temperature. We find that the fermion system has: I) no sharp Fermi surface and no well-defined quasiparticle peak for 0<x<1/20<x<1/2; II) a sharp Fermi surface but no well-defined quasiparticle peak for 1/2x11/2\leq x\leq 1; III) both sharp Fermi surface and well-defined quasiparticle peak for x>1x>1. In the presence of long-range gauge/Coulomb interaction or certain massless boson mode, the system exhibits unusual behavior belonging to class II.
