There is presently a great deal of interest in the effect of high magnetic fields on superconductivity, the pseudogap and on the AF-magnetic fluctuations in high-Tc superconductors. We have studied the response of the superconducting transition and the associated superconducting fluctuations in untwinned YBa2Cu3Ox single crystals to magnetic fields up to 10 T using high-resolution dilatometry, which was previously shown to be extremely useful in characterizing the zero-field transition. We show that the broadening of the superconducting transition in a magnetic field is a consequence of a finite-size scaling effect due the additional vortex-vortex length scale, which prevents the divergence of the coherence length at Tc. The behavior is analogous to that of the superfluid transition in rotating superfluid 4He [1]. Apart from this broadening, practically no field effect is observed on superconductivity and on superconducting fluctuations, which we observe up to about 30 K above Tc. [1] R.
