We report Cu-NMR studies of the multilayered high-T c cuprate (Cu 0.6 C 0.4) Ba 2 Ca 3 Cu 4 O 1 2+ y (Cu1234) with T c= 117 K. In the normal state, the Knight shift (K) and the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T 1) of 63 Cu give evidence that the inner CuO 2 planes (IP) are underdoped, whereas the outer ones (OP) are heavily overdoped. In the superconducting (SC) state, both K and 1/T 1 decrease markedly below T c= 117 K in the IP, whereas in the OP they decrease moderately below T c= 117 K, but markedly below T c 2= 60 K. The unusual NMR results in the OP reveal that the SC gap does not fully develop down to T c 2= 60 K. From comparison with a conventional d-wave model, it is shown that the SC gap in the OP increases linearly below T c and follows the mean-field type of T dependence below T c 2. We propose that these dissimilarities are caused by the large difference of doping levels between the IP and the OP. The bulk SC transition at T c= 117 K is considered to be triggered by the underdoped IP in Cu1234.
