Recently it has been demonstrated that chiral metamaterials show giant optical activity and circular dichroism. However, it has been rarely known about rotational force generated by incident wave in chiral metamaterials. We calculate the rotational force in the bilayered gammadion chiral metamaterial. In addition, we show that a bi-layered structure, which has greater optical activity than a single-layered structure, changes the rotational force tendency greatly. This result can be used as a possible optical manipulation in biological sciences.
