Abstract: The non-equilibrium dynamics of a one-dimensional (1D) topological system with 3rd-nearest-neighbor hopping has been investigated by analytical and numerical methods. An analytical form of topological defect density under the periodic boundary conditions (PBC) is obtained by using the Landau-Zener formula (LZF), which is consistent with the scaling of defect production provided by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM). Under the open boundary conditions (OBC), quench dynamics becomes more complicated due to edge states. The behaviors of the system quenching across different phases show that defect production no longer satisfies the KZM paradigm since complicated couplings exist under OBC. Some new dynamical features are revealed.

Key words: Kibble-Zurek mechanism, Landau-Zener transition, topological defect, topological insulator
