Abstract We study strong-coupling effects on the slope of the magnetization curve at the upper critical field of a type II superconductor, parametrized by the generalized Ginzburg-Landau parameter κ2. The use of the quasiclassical approach to the BCS-Gorkov theory, valid for all temperatures, allows us to present the calculations in a transparent manner. We obtain closed expressions for κ2 in terms of the solution of the eigenvalue problem determining the upper critical field, which we evaluate numerically. In the weak-coupling limit, previous results are reproduced, apart from a small correction.
