We discuss fermion pair productions in strong electric and magnetic fields. We point out that, in the case of massless fermions, the vacuum persistency probability per unit time and volume is zero in the strong electric and magnetic fields, while it is finite when the magnetic field is absent. The contribution from the lowest Landau level (LLL) dominates this phenomenon. We also discuss dynamics of the vacuum decay, using an effective theory of the LLL projection, taking into account the back reaction.
