Incongruent transition , in chemistry , is a mass transition between two Phase matter phases which involves a change in composition. This is contrasted with congruent transition , for which the composition remains the same. The transition may be that of melting , vaporization or Allotropy allotropism . The concept is also often extended to related phenomena, for example, Solubility Incongruent dissolution incongruent dissolution of a solid by a liquid solvent, which is often encountered in geology . The term phase decomposition is sometimes used to describe incongruent transition. However, it has to be kept in mind that incongruent transition is described by an Chemical equilibrium equilibrium .

Various events including Mergers and acquisitions acquisitions and management changes can cause the need for a portfolio to be transitioned. A typical example would be a mutual fund has decided to merge two funds into one larger fund. In doing this, large quantities of securities will need to be bought and sold. Another frequent occurrence is a firm wanting to liquidate a large portfolio. The process of doing this can be very expensive. The costs include commissions, market impact , bid offer spread s, and opportunity costs. A firm seeking to transition a portfolio will often look for an outside firm to perform the transition. Transition managers are generally able to transition the portfolio at a lower cost than what a firm could do internally. Companies offering transition management can also add value by helping plan the transition, managing risk during the transition, and generating reports after the transition. Such companies are often referred to as Transition companies . Transition managers have a number of methods to help transition a portfolio. Usually they are directly connected to multiple markets or liquidity centers. They can execute orders using algorithmic trading , and thereby minimize market impact. Since they may be transitioning several different portfolios they can cross orders, reducing commission and exchange fees. Additionally, they may have specialist traders who handle illiquid securities. A fiduciary friendly recent trend has been to remove all conflicts of interest associated with transition management by unbundling advice from execution through the use of a transition or brokerage consultant. In this way, the adviser s sole possible interest is improving performance and lowering execution costs, rather than having a trader and adviser under the same roof ... more details

A vibronic transition denotes the simultaneous change of vibrational and electronic quantum number in a molecule . According to the separability of electronic and nuclear motion in the Born Oppenheimer approximation , the vibrational transition and electronic transition may be described separately. The selection rule for electronic transitions is given by Koopmans theorem , while that for vibrational transitions is described by the Franck Condon principle . Most processes leading to the absorption and emission of visible light , are due to vibronic transitions. This may be contrasted to pure electronic transitions which occur in atom s and lead to sharp monochromatic lines e.g. in a sodium vapor lamp or pure vibrational transitions which only absorb or emit infrared light .
