Seeking new order parameters and the related broken symmetry and studying their relationship with phase transition have been important topics in condensed matter physics. We report by using spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we confirm the helical spin texture caused by spin-layer locking in the nodal region in the cuprate superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ and discover the anisotropy of spin polarizations at nodes along Γ–X and Γ–Y directions. The breaking of C4 rotational symmetry in electronic spin texture may give deeper insights into understanding the ground state of cuprate superconductors.
