We calculate the spectral function of the massive quark at finite temperature ( T ) using a Yukawa model and show that the peak in the negative energy region among the three-peaks found in a previous work for the massless quark is largely suppressed. To explore the underlying mechanism of this behavior, we also investigate the pole structure of the retarded Green function of the quark. We will show the result only for the massless quark. We find the residues of the poles corresponding the three-peaks are all comparable at T ∼ mb. We also show that the multi-peak structure of the quark spectra is well described in the pole approximation which indicates that the quasi-particle picture is valid in this T region.
