Abstract Many accelerator projects such as the ILC would benefit from cavities with reduced surface resistance (high Q-values) while maintaining a high accelerating gradient. A possible way to meet the requirements is the so-called nitrogen-infusion procedure on Niobium cavities. However, a fundamental understanding and a theoretical model of this method are still missing. One important parameter is the residual resistance ratio (RRR) which is related to the impurity content of the material. We report the investigated RRR on samples in a wide temperature range in a vacuum and under a nitrogen atmosphere. This comparison made it possible to make statements about the differences in the concentration of nitrogen by varying the temperature. The samples are pure cavity-grade niobium and treated in the same manner as cavities. For this purpose, a small furnace dedicated to sample treatment was set up to change and explore the parameter space of the infusion recipe. Care was taken to achieve the highest level of purity possible in the furnace and in a pressure range of 1.0·10⁻⁸ mbar in order to meet the high requirements of nitrogen infusion.
