SUMMARY
Underdoped cuprates refer to a state in high-temperature superconductors where the hole concentration is below the optimal doping level. This condition affects the electronic properties and superconducting behavior of the material. The discussion confirms that underdoping occurs when the hole concentration is insufficient for optimal performance, impacting the overall functionality of cuprate superconductors.
