We show that, if adequately formulated for molecular electronics, the barrier picture can quantitatively reproduce the currents and describe the orbital gating in the molecular transistors fabricated by Song et al. [H. Song, Y. Kim, Y.H. Jang, H. Jeong, MA. Reed, T. Lee, Nature 462 (2009) 1039]. Based on our results, we demonstrate (i) that the measured current represents the contribution of a single molecule, and (ii) the linear dependence of the molecular orbital energy offset epsilon(g) on the voltage V-t at the Fowler-Nordheim minimum, validating thereby the transition voltage spectroscopy for the gated single molecule devices of Song et al.
