We study the dependence of the electronic density of states (DOS) on the distance from the boundary for a ferromagnet/superconductor bilayer. We calculate the electron density of states in such structure taking into account the two-band model of the ferromagnet (FM) with conducting s and localized d electrons and a simple s-wave superconductor (SC). It is demonstrated that due to the electron s-d scattering in the ferromagnetic layer in the third order of s-d scattering parameter the oscillation of the density of states has larger period and more drastic decrease in comparison with the oscillation period for the electron density of states in the zero order.
