remain to be pursued. To provide an intuitive framework for such
complicated problems, we provided a simple analogical approach
that can be applicable to simple structures. In the course of this
chapter, the curvature-dependent inversion of the handedness for
a gammadion aperture and the local response in the field pattern
caused by the local variations in the chirality were examined. We
hopethattheapproachesintroducedinthischaptercanbeextended
as a buildingblock to investigations ofmore complex structures.
