We theoretically study the structure and exchange couplings in multiferroic YBaFeCuO5 (YBFCO). Using density functional theory we calculate energies of configurations with various Fe3+/Cu2+ orderings in the bilayered perovskite structure of YBFCO. We find that configurations with different distribution of Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions fall into two groups with distinctly different energies. The energies of those in the lowest energy group are close to that of the ground state (relative to the growth temperature) suggesting Fe3+ and Cu2+ to be disordered in YBFCO. Finally, we calculate exchange coupling constants for all the low energy configurations and show that the magnetic ordering resulting from these couplings is compatible with the experimentally-observed high-temperature magnetic ordering. However, they do not explain the existence of the experimentally observed low-temperature incommensurate magnetic structure.
