We achieve tunneling spin injection from Co into single layer graphene (SLG) using TiO2 seeded MgO barriers. A nonlocal magnetoresistance (Delta R-NL) of 130 Omega is observed at room temperature, which is the largest value observed in any material. Investigating Delta R-NL vs SLG conductivity from the transparent to the tunneling contact regimes demonstrates the contrasting behaviors predicted by the drift-diffusion theory of spin transport. Furthermore, tunnel barriers reduce the contact-induced spin relaxation and are therefore important for future investigations of spin relaxation in graphene.
