contents We present a detailed investigation of the XXZ Heisenberg model for spin-$1/2$ and spin-$1$ systems on square and honeycomb lattices. Utilizing the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method, complemented by Spiral Boundary Conditions (SBC) for mapping two-dimensional (2D) clusters onto one-dimensional (1D) chains, we meticulously explore the evolution of staggered magnetization and spin gaps across a broad spectrum of easy-axis anisotropies. Our study reveals that, despite the lower site coordination number of honeycomb lattice, which intuitively suggests increased quantum fluctuations in its Néel phase compared to the square lattice, the staggered magnetization in the honeycomb structure exhibits only a marginal reduction. Furthermore, our analysis demonstrates that the dependence of staggered magnetization on the XXZ anisotropy $Δ$, except in close proximity to $Δ=1$, aligns with series expansion predictions up to the 12th order. Notably, for the $S=1/2$ honeycomb lattice, deviations from the 10th order series expansion predictions near the isotropic Heisenberg limit emphasize the critical influence of quantum fluctuations on the spin excitation in its Néel state. Additionally, our findings are numerically consistent with the singular behavior of the spin gap near the isotropic Heisenberg limit as forecasted by spin-wave theory. The successful implementation of SBC marks a methodological advancement, streamlining the computational complexity involved in analyzing 2D models and paving the way for more precise determinations of physical properties in complex lattice systems.
