⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra at different temperatures between ~5 and ~300 K were measured on an oriented mosaic of single crystals of CaKFe₄ As₄. The data indicate that is a well formed compound with narrow spectral lines, no traces of other, Fe – containing, secondary phases in the spectra and no static magnetic order. There is no discernible feature at the superconducting transition temperature in any of the hyperfine parameters. The temperature dependence of the quadrupole splitting approximately follows the empirical ‘T^3/2 law’. Furthermore, the hyperfine parameters of CaKFe₄ As₄ are compared with those for measured in this work, and the literature data for CaFe₂ As₂, and were found to be in between those for these two, ordered, 122 compounds, in agreement with the gross view of CaKFe₄ As₄ as a structural analog of KFe₂ As₂ and CaFe₂ As₂ that has alternating Ca- and K-layers in the structure.
