//! Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch (LLB) equation solver
//!
//! The LLB equation extends the LLG equation to finite temperatures,
//! including near and above the Curie temperature T_C. Unlike LLG,
//! the magnitude |m| is NOT conserved — longitudinal relaxation allows
//! the magnetization length to change.
//!
//! # Mathematical Formulation
//!
//! The LLB equation of motion:
//!
//! ```text
//! dm/dt = γ(m × H_eff)
//!       − γ α_⊥/(1+α_⊥²) · m × (m × H_eff)    [transverse damping]
//!       − γ α_∥ · (1 − m²/m_e²(T)) · m          [longitudinal relaxation]
//! ```
//!
//! where:
//! - α_∥ and α_⊥ are temperature-dependent longitudinal and transverse damping constants
//! - m_e(T) is the temperature-dependent equilibrium magnetization magnitude
//! - γ is the gyromagnetic ratio
//!
//! # Temperature-Dependent Damping
//!
//! For T < T_C:
//! - α_∥ = α · (2/5 + 3T/(5T_C))
//! - α_⊥ = α · T/T_C  (with minimum floor 1e-10)
//!
//! For T ≥ T_C:
//! - α_∥ = α_⊥ = 2α · T/(5T_C)
//!
//! # Equilibrium Magnetization
//!
//! The equilibrium magnetization m_e(T) is found self-consistently from the
//! Brillouin function B_J(J, x):
//!
//! ```text
//! B_J(J, x) = ((2J+1)/(2J)) coth((2J+1)x/(2J)) − (1/(2J)) coth(x/(2J))
//! m_e = B_J(J, 3 T_C m_e / (T · (J+1)/J))
//! ```
