Motivated by these progresses, we propose the Chern vector C = (0, m, n)-protected quantized Hall effect in three-dimensional systems. By examining samples with Chern vector C = (0, m, n) and dimensions Ly and Lz along the y- and z-directions, two kinds of edge states exist on different surfaces. The sum of transmission coefficients contributed by different edge states is quantized as (mLy +nLz), although they are individually fragile under weak disorder. Moreover, the quantized summation can be directly measured by the Hall conductance, such as Gxy and Gxz, which are expressed by ±(mLy+nLz)e2/h. These Hall conductances exhibit a clear dependency on sample dimensions, illuminating the intrinsic three-dimensional nature. Finally, we propose potential candidates for experimental realization.
