Physics 141B at Berkeley: Intro Solid State Physics

[Nikitin]

Hi. I plan on being an exchange student at Berkeley next year. I cannot find any course description for this course, I only find the description for 141A+141B: http://general-catalog.berkeley.edu/catalog/gcc_list_crse_req?p_dept_name=Physics&p_dept_cd=PHYSICS [Broken]

141A. Solid State Physics. (4) Three hours of lecture and one hour of discussion per week. Prerequisites: 137A-137B; 137B may be taken concurrently. Part I. A thorough introductory course in modern solid state physics. Crystal symmetries; classification of solids and their bonding; electromagnetic, elastic, and particle waves in periodic lattices; thermal magnetic and dielectric properties of solids; energy bands of metals and semi-conductors; superconductivity; magnetism; ferroelectricity; magnetic resonances.

The problem is that I am taking a SSP course right now at my home uni: http://www.ntnu.edu/studies/courses/TFY4220#tab=omEmnet
and I don't want to have to re-study the same material.

I'd like to take something akin to this course:
http://www.ntnu.edu/studies/courses/TFY4245#tab=omEmnet

Does anybody know?

TFY4220 = PHYS141A
TFY4245 ~ PHYS141B (content varies a lot depending on the lecturer from what I've heard)
