Surface quality is paramount in facilitating high perfor-mance SRF cavity operation. Here, we investigate the topographic evolution of samples subjected to N-doping and 600 °C vacuum anneal. We show that in N-doped Nb, niobium nitrides may grow continuously along grain boundaries. Upon electropolishing high slope angle grooves are revealed which sets up a condition that may facilitate a supression of the superheating field.
