I have my Dad's January 1965 Glossary of Electronic Properties by Emil
Schafer EPIC Report No. S-7. Under Hall Coefficient:
The Corbino effect is a special case of the Hall effect which occurs when a
disc carrying a radial current is placed in a magnetic field which is
perpendicular to the plane of the disc.
I did a web search but I could only find that, while the Hall effect is
resistive in nature, the Corbino effect is a conductance phenomenon. Any
comments are welcome.
I don't think that people who ask questions are ignorant.
