This paper presents results of a {sup 57}Fe probe Mössbauer spectroscopy study of the BiNi{sub 0.96}{sup 57}Fe{sub 0.04}O{sub 3} nickelate. The spectra measured above its TN demonstrate that Fe{sup 3+} cations heterovalently substitute for Ni{sup 2+} nickel (←Fe{sup 3+}), being stabilized on four sites of the nickel sublattice in the structure of BiNiO{sub 3}. Calculations in an ionic model with allowance for monopole and dipole contributions to the electric field gradient indicate that the parameters of electric hyperfine interactions between {sup 57}Fe probe atom nuclei reflect the specifics of the local environment of the nickel in the structure of the unsubstituted BiNiO{sub 3} nickelate. Below T{sup N}, Mössbauer spectra transform into a complex Zeeman structure, which is analyzed in terms of first-order perturbation theory with allowance for electric quadrupole interactions as a small perturbation of the Zeeman levels of the {sup 57}Fe hyperfine structure, as well as for specific features of the magnetic ordering of the Ni{sup 2+} cations in the nickelate studied.
