We show a possible large spin polarization of nuclei produced by one-nucleon transfer reactions predicted by the direct reaction theory. We investigate its origins in terms of the magnetic-sub-state cross sections by decomposing those into near-side and far-side components. The asymmetry of the particle-[gamma] angular correlation followed by decay of the spin-polarized nucleus is also calculated.
