This dissertation focuses on the transport properties of the high-temperature superconductor LSCO in high magnetic fields, particularly the longitudinal magnetoresistance around optimum doping. In this region of the phase diagram the longitudinal magnetoresistance appears to exhibit non-Fermi liquid magnetoresisitance. Additionally, high-field magnetotransport in LBCO is included, which revealed a layered, phase-decoupled superconducting state for x = 0.095. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Physics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester, 2015. / April 2, 2015. / Cuprates, Superconductivity / Includes bibliographical references. / Gregory Boebinger, Professor Directing Dissertation; Theo Siegrist, University Representative; Todd Adams, Committee Member; Nick Bonesteel, Committee Member; Scott Riggs, Committee Member.
