Electrical spin injection from the Heusler alloy Co2MnGe into a p-i-nAl0.1Ga0.9As∕GaAs light emitting diode is demonstrated. A maximum steady-state spin polarization of approximately 13% at 2 K is measured in two types of heterostructures. The injected spin polarization at 2 K is calculated to be 27% based on a calibration of the spin detector using Hanle effect measurements. Although the dependence on electrical bias conditions is qualitatively similar to Fe-based spin injection devices of the same design, the spin polarization injected from Co2MnGe decays more rapidly with increasing temperature.
