| contents | We present a Raman study of ZrAs_{2} single crystals, a nodal line semimetal with symmetry-enforced Dirac-like band crossings. We identified the symmetry of phonon modes by polarized light measurements and comparison with calculated phonon frequencies. Significant dependence of peak intensities on the excitation wavelength was observed, indicating quantum interference effects. Phonon peaks in the spectra are superimposed on the electronic background, with quasi-elastic scattering observed for the 785 nm excitation. We identified the Fano shape of the 171 cm^{-1} Ag mode due to interference of the phonon state with the electronic continuum. The temperature dependence of phonon peaks linewidth indicates that the electron-phonon coupling plays an essential role in phonon decay. |
