{sup 57}Fe Moessbauer effects of Nd{sub 2}Fe{sub 14}B and Nd{sub 2}Fe{sub 12.5}Si{sub 1.5}B have been studied in a temperature range of 77--300 K. The distribution of silicon atoms over the six sites and the dependences of {ital H}{sub hf}, {Delta}, and {delta} on the temperature for the {sup 57}Fe isotope have been deduced by fitting the Moessbauer spectra. The results show that about 80% of the silicon atoms occupy the {ital k}{sub 2} site in Nd{sub 2}Fe{sub 12.5}Si{sub 1.5}B. Meanwhile, silicon substitution for iron raises the Curie temperature and reduces the temperature coefficients of the hyperfine fields at the six iron sites, especially the {ital j}{sub 1} site. The results are interpreted in terms of a decrease of the magnitude of the negative exchange interaction between the {ital j}{sub 1}-{ital k}{sub 2} atoms.
