| We study effects of the next-next-nearest-neighbour antiferromagnetic (J3<0) interaction on critical properties (or phase diagram) of the frustrated spin-1/2 J1-J2-J3 Ising antiferromagnet on the honeycomb lattice by using the effective-field theory with correlations. Beside the ground-state energy, we find that there is a region of J3 < 0 in which the frustrated honeycomb lattice antiferromagnet exhibits a tricritical point, at which the phase transition changes from the second order to the first one on the line between Néel antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases. |
