CeCoIn5 is known to host d-wave heavy-fermion superconductivity and also a high-field superconducting phase, the Q phase. In neodymium the 4f-electrons do not hybridize with the conduction electrons. Therefore, substituting a certain amount of the cerium atoms in CeCoIn5 with neodymium, spin density waves and antiferromagnetic order can be induced. Previous de Haas-van Alphen measurements show that with increasing Nd doping the Fermi surfaces of CeCoIn5 are reconstructed from a quasi-two-dimensional to a three-dimensional topology. Such a dramatic change may also be reflected by the electrical transport anisotropy. In order to gain access to different conduction-channel directions, we fabricated micrustructures of Nd-doped CeCoIn5 using focused ion beam (FIB) microfabrication. Our goal is to study the effect of Nd doping on the resistivity anisotropy in high magnetic fields. In this talk I will present first preliminary results in fields of up to 16 T and at 3He temperatures.
