Injection of spin currents into solids is crucial for exploring spin physics and spintronics(1,2). There has been significant progress in recent years in spin injection into high-resistivity materials, for example, semiconductors and organic materials, which uses tunnel barriers to circumvent the impedance mismatch problem(3-14); the impedance mismatch between ferromagnetic metals and high-resistivity materials drastically limits the spin-injection efficiency(15). However, because of this problem, there is no route for spin injection into these materials through low-resistivity interfaces, that is, Ohmic contacts, even though this promises an easy and versatile pathway for spin injection without the need for growing high-quality tunnel barriers. Here we show experimental evidence that spin pumping enables spin injection free from this condition; room-temperature spin injection into GaAs from Ni81Fe19 through an Ohmic contact is demonstrated through dynamical spin exchange. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this exchange can be controlled electrically by applying a bias voltage across a Ni81Fe19/GaAs interface, enabling electric tuning of the spin-pumping efficiency.
