In low-dimensional Ising spin systems, an interesting observation is the presence of step magnetization at low temperatures. Here we combine both DC and pulsed magnetic fields to study the 1/3 magnetization plateau and multiple steps in the Ising spin-chain material α-CoV2O6. Magnetization in pulsed fields is quite different from that in DC fields, showing multiple steps in an intermediate range of 4.2-6 K, inverted hysteresis below 4.2 K and asymmetric magnetization in negative fields below 11 K. We demonstrate that these unusual behaviors in magnetization are caused by the spin dynamics and the anomalous magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in α-CoV2O6, i.e., abrupt changes of sample temperature in adiabatic conditions. We successfully separate the influence between the intrinsic slow spin dynamics and the quasi-extrinsic temperature change. From the MCE, we find that some irreversible behavior is originated from the slow spin dynamics. Two different slow dynamics associated with the metastable steps are observed: one is sensitive to the slow field sweep rate at the order of ∼mT s-1and weakly depends on temperature, while the other responds to the rapid field sweep rate of ∼kT s-1and dominates at lowest temperature. We also distinguish that the metastable transition atH4is the first order and crucial for the ferrimagnetic to ferromagnetic transition. This study is useful to the understanding of multistep magnetization in α-CoV2O6and sheds light on recent experimental findings of related compounds.

At the beginning of the 21st century, China began to transform and upgrade the old urban industrial areas. At present, it is relatively lack to research the post-evaluation system of functional upgrading and transformation for old urban industrial areas. This paper chooses and analyzes 24 typical projects of regeneration and transformation for old urban industrial areas through literature research. On the basis of analyzing the relevant literature research, policy implementation and practice results of typical projects, this paper proposes a post-evaluation system with comprehensive influence as the target and 5 influence dimensions and 21 evaluation factors through combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. Based on this, the connotation of evaluation factors is analyzed, so as to form a practical post-evaluation system of comprehensive influence.
