The behavior of the penetration depth [lambda] at low temperatures is an important probe of the symmetry of the order parameter in superconductors. For this reason, the penetration depth in the high-[ital T][sub [ital c]] oxide has been the focus of much recent experimental and theoretical attention. In this paper we provide detailed results for the behavior of [lambda] at [ital T]=0, as a function of impurity scattering, for an unconventional order parameter.
