See supplementary material at http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4823540 E-APPLAB-103-095339 for the analysis on the electrical Hanle signals obtained by electrical spin injection/extraction using the same contact. Note that the discussions on the Hanle measurements in larger perpendicular magnetic fields and the characteristic feature of thermal Hanle signal depending on host semiconductor are also presented in the supplementary material for completeness.
