The Corbino effect is the appearance of a circular current in a conducting disc when a radial current flows through it in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. It is named in US1822129 — System & Apparatus Employing the Hall Effect, Palmer H. Craig's Hall-effect patent, as a related phenomenon to the Hall effect.
The source names the effect but does not develop it further; it appears in the patent as part of the background of magnetically induced transverse currents that the device is intended to exploit.
