For larger bubbles, the effect of neck formation on the oscillations is documented experimentally. The addition of a surfactant to the system modifies both the oscillation frequency and damping. The frequency initially increases with the increasing surfactant concentration due to Gibbs elasticity, and starts to decrease only after exceeding some surfactant concentration. The damping strongly increases, passes through a maximum and then slightly decreases. The maximum damping is observed for the concentration, at which the oscillation frequency starts to decrease. Concluding, bubble oscillations are strongly sensitive to presence of a surfactant.
