The Mössbauer effect and ab initio investigations of an electric field gradient at 57Fe nuclei in Pt3Fe compound are presented. It is shown that nonzero 57Fe electric field gradient exists in the cubic Pt3Fe. Ab initio study of Pt3Fe in antiferromagnetic state confirms the presence of electric field gradient at 57Fe nuclei. Lattice, local valence electron (3d, 4p) and weakly bound 3p core electron contributions to electric field gradient are separated out and discussed in the context of the electronic structure changes upon the antiferromagnetic phase transition.
