CeCoIn₅ is one of the prime examples for heavy-fermion (HF) superconductivity [1]. However, superconductivity vanishes upon Nd doping on the Ce site [2]. Since there are several theory studies suggesting a relation of the Fermi-surface (FS) geometry and superconductivity, e. g. [3], the knowledge of the Fermi surface is of vital importance. Here, we present quantum-oscillation data of Nd_xCe_1−xCoIn₅ obtained using a rotatable torque magnetometer in fields up to 35 T and temperatures down to 50 mK. In combination with band-structure calculations, our data reveal only a subtle change in the cylindrical FS sheet of CeCoIn₅, but a strong change in the effective-mass renormalization.
