Author contributions

: S.-J.W., D.V., H.S. and J.W. developed the idea of probing spin transport in organic semiconductors using lateral spin pumping architectures. S.-J.W. and D.V. nanofabricated the devices and performed lateral spin pumping measurements. M.R.M., U.C., E.R.M., S.A.E., S.M., S.S. and J.S. developed the supporting theory. R.D.P. and A.W. set up the experimental facilities required to do the experiments. R.D.P., J.W. and D.V. conceived the ideas for control experiments to remove spurious artefacts. S.-J.W., G.S., K.K. and I.E.J. developed the doping techniques used. R.C. and S.S. performed ESR measurements. D.P.G.H.W. and S.S. performed the supporting Hanle simulations. C.J., M.L., A.M. and I.M. synthesized and characterized the polymers used. M.C., J.N.M.S., T.J.W., O.Z. and P.S. provided technical help with measurements. D.V. nanofabricated and measured organic nonlocal spin valves. R.O.A. and A.I. assisted with thin film deposition of ferromagnets and tunnel barriers for organic nonlocal spin valves. D.V., S.-J.W., E.R.M. and H.S. wrote the manuscript with inputs from the other authors. All authors within the ERC Synergy SC2 grant made significant contributions to discussions throughout the progression of the project.
