Previous stability analysis of low space charge ωe2/Ω2≪1, E×B drifting flows inside smooth anode cavities has shown that they are practically stable against slow wave ω/ck≪1 diocotron instabilities when the flow touches the cathode (cathode layer). It is shown here that the presence of periodically structured anode destabilizes cathode layer modes when their phase velocity matches that of an empty cavity eigenmode, as structured cavities support slow waves in vacuum. An analytic dispersion relation that self-consistently includes the structured anode effects is obtained in the guiding center approximation. The growth rate, related to the onset of magnetron oscillations, scales as γ/ω∼ωD/ω≃1/kd; it is independent of, and remains finite as, ωe2/Ω2→0. The most unstable frequency corresponds to a resonant layer below the flow surface (slightly below the Buneman–Hartree frequency) and the growth rate is found symmetric relative to the detuning from resonance.
