We demonstrate the injection and detection of electrically and thermally generated spin currents in Co2MnSi/Cu lateral spin valves. Devices with different electrode separations are patterned to measure the non-local signal as a function of the spacing and we determine a high spin polarization of the injected spins of 0.63 and the spin diffusion length in Cu is 500 nm. The electrically generated non-local signal is measured as a function of temperature with a maximum observed for a temperature of 80 K. The thermally generated non-local signal is measured as a function of current density and temperature in a second harmonic measurement detection scheme. We find different temperature dependences for the electrically and thermally generated non-local signals, which allows us to conclude that the temperature dependence of the signals is not just dominated by the transport in the Cu wire, but there is a crucial contribution from the different generation mechanisms, which has been largely disregarded till date.
