We demonstrate electrical spin‐injection into a single InAs quantum dot embedded in a GaAs‐based p–i–n diode structure using a diluted magnetic semiconductor (ZnMnSe) as a spin‐source. The spin‐information can be extracted directly by evaluating the polarisation degree of the single quantum dot electroluminescence signal. We obtain a spin‐polarisation up to 100% at T = 5 K that is decreasing with higher temperature. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
