Abstract: The results of calculations of the spatially-resolved density of states (DOS) in an S(F/N) bilayer are presented (S is a superconductor, F is a metallic ferromagnet, N is a normal metal) within quasiclassical theory in the dirty limit. Analytical solutions are obtained in the case of thin F, N layers which demonstrate the peculiar features of DOS in this system. The dependencies of the minigap and the DOS peak positions on the exchange energy and parameters of the layers are studied numerically.
