We report Raman-scattering measurements on the quasi-two-dimensional quantum spin system Sr1-xBaxCu2(BO3)(2) (x=0 and 0.1) in interlayer polarizations and temperatures between 5 K and 450 K. Upon approaching the structural phase transition at T-s=395 K, a strong anharmonic softening of an interlayer mode at 62 cm(-1) is observed together with overtone features and a broadening of its linewidth. Moreover, an additional 3% softening toward low temperatures points to strong spin-phonon coupling of exchange origin. Our results suggest a significance of spin-phonon interactions, interlayer lattice dynamics, and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions to understand the magnetic behavior in this compound that has earlier been discussed in the framework of the two-dimensional Shastry-Sutherland spin system.
