The in-plane magnetic penetration depth, lambda>(*) over bar * (T), was measured down to 0.4 K in single crystals of electron-doped superconductors, Pr1.85Ce0.15CuO4-delta (PCCO) and Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4-delta (NCCO). In PCCO, the superfluid density varies as T-2 from 0.025 up to roughly 0.3T/T-c suggestive of a d-wave state with impurities. In NCCO, lambda>(*) over bar * (T) shows a pronounced upturn for T < 4 K due to the paramagnetic contribution of Nd3+ ions. Fits to an s-wave order parameter over the standard BCS range (T/T-c = 0.32) limit any gap to less than (min)(0)/T-c = 0.57 in NCCO. For PCCO, the absence of paramagnetism permits a lower temperature fit and yields an upper limit of Delta (min)(0)/T-c = 0.2.
