Discontinuous metal insulator multilayers (DMIMs) Co₈₀Fe₂₀(t) /Al₂O₃(3 nm)₁₀ of CoFe granules embedded in Al₂O₃ spacer layers are studied by SQUID magnetometry and ac susceptometry. Zero field ac susceptibility studies on samples with 0.9 ≤ t ≤ 1.6nm reveal the existence of a low temperature super spin glass state. It is manifested by a characteristic frequency dispersion of the peaks of both Re(χ_ac) and Im(χ_ac) vs T. The glass transition temperature T_g and the critical exponents, zν and γ, are obtained from the temperature dependence of the relaxation time, τ , and the non-linear susceptibility, χ₃, respectively. Moreover a superferromagnetic state is evidenced for samples with t ≥ 1.05nm from a second peak in Re(χ_ac) at T = T_SFM > T_g. In order to study the influence of the dimensionality we investigated the 3D to 2D crossover by subsequent reduction of the number of DMIM bilayers.
