Abstract
Thermal capillary wave motion on a charged free surface of a liquid covered with a surfactant film gives rise to waves of redistributing charge (equalizing the electrical potential) and waves of the surfactant (equalizing the concentration of the surfactant). Numerical analysis of the dispersion equation shows that in some range of physical parameters the waves of charge interact with the waves of surfactant, forming two new branches of charge-concentration waves.
