We have performed quasiparticle-random-phase-approximation (QRPA) calculations of the {nu}{nu} transition matrix for {sup 76}Ge, {sup 82}Se, and {sup 100}Mo, using effective interactions derived from the Paris and the Bonn {ital NN} potentials. Unlike earlier QRPA calculations where the self-energy corrections to the single-particle spectra were suppressed, we have retained these corrections as given by our interactions. In this way our calculations are able to avoid the commonly encountered difficulty of QRPA instability near {ital g}{sub pp}=1. The {ital M}{sup 2{nu}} matrix elements of {sup 76}Ge, {sup 82}Se, and {sup 100}Mo given by our calculation, with no adjustable parameters, are in reasonably good agreement with recent direct counter experiments.
