In spintronic devices employing semiconductors, semimetals, and compensated metals, attention is directed not only to electron spins but also to hole spins. Assuming that the motion of holes is accompanied by spin angular momentum, we explicitly discuss how quantities that depend on spin angular momentum should be defined with proper consideration of its orientation.
