The magnetic hyperfine field (B{sub hf}) in ferrimagnetic GdCo{sub 5} compound has been investigated as a function of temperature by Mössbauer effect (ME) spectroscopy and perturbed angular correlation (PAC) spectroscopy using {sup 119}Sn and {sup 111}Cd probe nuclei, respectively. Results show that the non-magnetic probe atoms {sup 119}Sn and {sup 111}Cd substitute all three non-equivalent positions in GdCo{sub 5}: Gd, Co{sub I}, and Co{sub II}. For {sup 119}Sn and {sup 111}Cd probes at Gd sites, the saturation magnetic hyperfine fields are very different with values of B{sub hf1} = 57.0(1) T and B{sub hf1}= 20.7(1) T, respectively. For {sup 119}Sn and {sup 111}Cd atoms localized at Co{sub I} and Co{sub II} sites the magnetic hyperfine fields are practically identical and, in saturation, reach the values of B{sub hf2} = 11.6(1) T and B{sub hf2} = 11.1(2) T, and B{sub hf3} = 14.8(1) T and B{sub hf3} = 14.4(2) T, respectively.
