Abstract
We developed the self-consistent method for the calculation of the density of states  in the SF bilayers. It based on the
quasi-classical Usadel equations and takes into account the suppression of
superconductivity in
the S layer due to the proximity effect with the F metal, as well as
existing mechanisms of the spin dependent electron scattering. We demonstrate
that the increase of the spin orbit or spin flip electron scattering rates
results in completely different transformations of at the
free F layer interface. The developed formalism has been applied
for the interpretation of the available experimental data.
