Detailed Description

create_excel.py — Generate input_parameters.xlsx for RadCluster_2_1.

Creates a 5-sheet workbook with exact bcc Fe / EUROFER97 parameters from:
  Ghoniem, N.M. (2026), "A Cluster Dynamics Model for Radiation Damage
  Evolution in Ferritic-Martensitic Steels" (Rate_Equations.pdf).

Sheet layout
------------
Production    — cascade production parameters (Tables 2, 5): fission vs. fusion
Energetics    — lattice, migration/formation energies, He EOS (Tables 5, 8)
Diffusion     — diffusion pre-factors, solute trapping (Tables 5, 16)
Dissociation  — binding energy parameters, trap mutation (Tables 18-19, 27)
Reactions     — rate constant prefactors, sink parameters, solver settings (Tables 25-26, 29)

Run from radcluster_code/:
    python create_excel.py

Overwrites input/input_parameters.xlsx.
