Fermi Liquid Properties of a Two Dimensional Electron System With the Fermi Level Near a van Hove Singularity

Abstract

We use a diagrammatic approach to study low energy physics of a two dimensional electron system where the Fermi level is near van-Hove singularies in the energy spectrum. We find that in most regions of the ${\epsilon }_F-T$ phase diagram the system behaves as a normal Fermi liquid rather than a marginal Fermi liquid. Particularly, the imaginary part of the self energy is much smaller than the excitation energy, which implies well defined quasiparticle excitations, and single particle properties are only weakly affected by the presence of the van-Hove singularities. The relevance to high temperature superconductivity is also discussed.
