Abstract
We have performed a theoretical analysis of the ground-state-to-ground-state transitions in $\chem{^{100}Mo}$ and $\chem{^{116}Cd}$, based on the quasiparticle random-phase approximation and on a straightforward perturbative scheme. The results show that the single-state dominance found in the realistic calculations of the nuclear matrix elements, which is consistent with data, can be viewed as a result of the interference between few two-quasiparticle configurations.
