The Hall conductivity $\sigma_{xy}$ of many condensed matter systems presents a step structure when a uniform perpendicular magnetic field is applied. We report the quantum Hall effect in buckled AB-bottom-top bilayer silicene and its robust dependence on the electronic valley and spin-orbit coupling. With the unique multi-valley electronic structure and the lack of spin degeneracy, the quantization of the Hall conductivity in this system is unlike the conventional sequence as reported for…
