The structure of the low-lying levels in the mirror nuclei {sup 57}Ni and {sup 57}Cu is described within the extended unified model. The problem of single-particle energies in {sup 56}Ni is treated in detail. {open_quote}{open_quote}Bare{close_quote}{close_quote} single-particle energies are extracted from existing experimental data for the energy levels in {sup 57}Ni and {sup 57}Cu by carefully considering the influence of the coupling to excitations of the core. Important contributions arise, influencing especially the results on the spin-orbit splitting. The differences between the Coulomb energy shifts of various orbitals in {sup 56}Ni are discussed and compared with those resulting from Hartree-Fock calculations carried out using a broad range of Skyrme interactions. The parameters of the Woods-Saxon potential reproducing these neutron {open_quote}{open_quote}bare{close_quote}{close_quote} single-particle energies and the charge root-mean-square radius of {sup 56}Ni are extracted. It is demonstrated that the contributions associated with the Thomas-Ehrman effect and the electromagnetic spin-orbit interaction are important and large enough to account for the differences between the Coulomb energy shifts of the single-particle levels in {sup 56}Ni. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
